Yeah it was so cool!

Yep I love it!

Ohio!

An absolutely giant bird just swooped down and flew like ten feet above my car and I was like wtf that’s a big ass bird, I looked and it was a bald eagle.

What’s next?? 24?! Absurd

A 15 pack of Coke Zero that reads “15 cans.. 3 more cans than a 12 pack”

THREE more cans than a twelve pack?! No fucking way. My mind is absolutely blown. 3 more cans!? Dear god, has science gone too far?? 🤯🤯🤯

While I was in Chicago, I stayed at an especially awesome bed and breakfast, check out my post over Ray’s Bucktown Bed & Breakfast on the blog!

I actually feel that way sometimes, I’m extremely brain rotted

I agree if you do this you are a Bad Friend

Summarizing your FRIEND’S message that says “I’m good how are you!” is the most dystopian thing I can think of tbh holy shit

A screenshot of Instagram messages, where it has told me “3 new messages. Summarize with Meta AI.”

Hey y’all, are your pesky friends sending you messages that you have to READ with your eyeballs? Are you tired of comprehending the words that your friends are sending you telling you about their day and their feelings? Worry not, for Meta AI can take all of that absolute junk, and summarize it!

It’s okay like I said you weren’t the only person that thought I was talking about Superman (2025) and not Man of Steel

Twas just one of many complaints I assure you

Too many lens flares and digital zooms 😭

This is not the first person who (I assume) thinks I’m talking about the new Superman movie. I was saying Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel from 2013 is not a great movie. Different movie, I can assure you I’m not maga lmao 💀

Wait why??

I also laughed at that

I’m devastated

I know, I’m saddened too

Well bad news y’all I just rewatched Man of Steel andddd turns out it’s a bad movie. Whoopsie.

I actually really like the Gouda ones

I’ve been seeing sooo many people lately get partnerships with Red Lobster and post videos of them trying their Crab Fest stuff and I’m literally manifesting that for meee I want crab legsss you guys are all so lucky getting partnered with Red Lobster tf 😭😭😭 I’m jealous fr

Newsweek’s infamous 17 July 1995 cover: “Bisexuality: Not Gay. Not Straight. A New Sexual Identity Emerges.”

A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

Aw thank you!! I’m so glad 🫶🏻

I like them aesthetically! And they taste good but mostly they’re pretty

A large wooden serving board, adorned with a spread consisting of a wheel of brie, a river of prosciutto, fanned out triangles of chimichurri Gouda, a pile of cubed Munster, a rose of Italian dry salami, a log of fig and honey goat cheese, a mound of Kerrygold aged cheddar, a bowl of castelvetrano olives, handfuls of candied pecans, bits of honeycomb, cherries, and a tiny jar of Mike’s Hot Honey. Out of frame are two small bowls of fig spread and whole grain mustard.

A long, narrow stone slab serving board, filled to the brim with a crumbled togarashi cheese, crumbled aged Gouda, a sliced smoked goat cheese, a pile of prosciutto, a river of coppa, dried cherries, and two mini jams (one caramelized pear and honey, the other raspberry hibiscus).

Two boards I made this past week 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Thank goodness they latched onto such a good piece of media rather than something you would have a terrible time watching over and over again!

Very!

As they should be!! It’s probably gonna be Soda Pop for me though
